Overview

About 10 Bayham Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

10 Bayham Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9GF). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2061 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 sits 60.3% above the 2012 sale of £372,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in May 2012.
